The Best of Abott & Costello, Vol. 3

I bought this set for one movie, "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein", to me the set was worth it for that one alone. The rest is just gravy, especially the other two "Meet" movies, and some pretty good thick milk gravy with lumps of sausage at that. I highly recommend you get this set while you still can as these are all out of print now. Fortunately I found a reasonable seller that wasn't gouging as some do when they go OOP. If you enjoy this catch "The Adventures of Ma & Pa Kettle, Vol. 1" and "The Adventures of Francis the Talking Mule, Vol. 1".

Past Their Heyday

Except for A&C Meet Frankenstein, this group is limp by comparison to their earlier work from the 1940s. The films are still okay to watch. If you hadn't seen A&C Go to Mars, the following is a SPOILER, so stop reading here. I hadn't seen Mars since I was 12 and always felt the end was cruel when Costello kisses the innocent girl (Jackie Loughery) and the queen's curse ages her to 100. In my recent viewing I realized at the end that the Queen lifts the effects of the curse which, I assume, means the girl returned to her youthful beauty. Great to see Bruce Cabot in Lost in Alaska. I guess my problem with this group is that I can see the potential of each film if Universal really got behind the projects. Apparently they just relied on Bud and Lou's reputation to sell these movies which is unfortunate.
